The sixth annual BET Hip-Hop Awards aired last night, offering an impressive array of performances from the old school (including a show-closing medley from Heavy D) and the new (Wiz Khalifa delivering a high-energy rendition of 'Taylor Gang').

The ceremony also boasted appearances by DMX and Swizz Beatz, Big Sean, Roscoe Dash, Rick Ross, Wale, and T.I., who took the stage to perform 'F.A.M.E.' with Young Jeezy. Arguably the top honor of the night belonged to LL Cool J, who accepted the I Am Hip-Hop Icon Award.

Comedian Mike Epps hosted the awards, which were taped earlier in the month.
